A Virginia LLC costs $397 all-in through Anonymousllc.co in year one: a $297 service fee plus the $100 state filing fee, covering filing, registered agent, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications. Ongoing cost is a $50 annual registration plus $100/year registered agent. Virginia also charges state income tax up to 5.75%, so founders who want no state income tax and privacy compare Wyoming and New Mexico.
Virginia's state filing fee is $100, paid once to the Virginia Secretary of State for the Articles of Organization. This is the only mandatory state fee at filing time. The fee is the same for single-member and multi-member LLCs, and for resident and non-resident owners. Anonymousllc.co pays it as part of the all-in package, so the founder sees one price rather than a separate state charge. Virginia has no expedite requirement for standard formation, and filings are accepted within 1-3 business days. The $100 is a one-time charge at formation, not a recurring fee; the recurring state obligation is the separate $50 annual registration from year two. Virginia does not add a publication requirement, so there is no newspaper cost of the kind New York and Arizona impose on new LLCs.
A Virginia LLC costs $397 total through Anonymousllc.co: a $297 service fee plus the $100 state fee. That single price covers state filing, registered agent for year one, a Virginia-specific operating agreement, the EIN, and four to five US bank applications. There are no upsells hidden behind that number. Add-on services are priced separately: EIN $99 on its own, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report where applicable. For founders whose priority is anonymity, Anonymousllc.co recommends a Wyoming LLC plus Virginia foreign qualification at the $397 all-in Wyoming price. The $397 covers the formation year in full, with no separate charge for the operating agreement, the EIN, or the first year of registered agent service. A founder pays one price up front and sees the recurring $150/year only from year two, so the first-year outlay is fixed and predictable.
Ongoing cost is Virginia's $50 annual registration fee plus $100/year for registered agent service, about $150/year from year two. The annual registration is due by the last day of the LLC's formation anniversary month. Income tax obligations depend on state-sourced income and entity-level elections and are separate from these maintenance fees. Anonymousllc.co tracks the annual registration deadline and files it as part of registered agent service, so the LLC stays in good standing without the owner watching the state calendar. That $150/year keeps the LLC in good standing and the founder's address off the public filing, but it does not include any state income tax owed on Virginia-sourced profit. A Virginia LLC with active in-state income carries the 5.75% tax on top of the flat maintenance fees, which is the line item the four no-income-tax anonymous states remove.
Filing yourself costs the $100 state fee alone, but you handle the name check, Articles, operating agreement, EIN, and bank applications by yourself. The $297 service fee covers all of that plus registered agent for year one. Most owners find DIY costs more in time and missed steps than the $297 service fee costs in money, especially non-residents obtaining an EIN by fax and applying to US banks from abroad. The all-in package holds the 5-10 business day timeline by running the steps in parallel. A non-resident gains the most from the service tier: obtaining an EIN by fax without an SSN, preparing a compliant operating agreement, and applying to US banks from outside the country are the steps most likely to stall a DIY filing. The $297 service fee buys the process management that keeps the 5-10 business day timeline intact.
For total 2026 cost, New Mexico is the cheapest at $347 with Anonymousllc.co and no annual report or annual fee. Wyoming is second at $397 total with a $60 annual report and strong anonymity. Delaware costs $407 total and adds a $300 flat annual franchise tax due June 1. Nevada costs $722 total and adds an annual list plus state business license near $350/year. Virginia costs $397 to form but adds a $50 annual registration and state income tax up to 5.75%, which the four anonymous states without income tax avoid. Across the four anonymous states, New Mexico is the lowest total to maintain because it charges no annual report and no annual fee, while Wyoming adds only a $60 annual report. Virginia's $50 annual registration is modest, but its 5.75% state income tax is the recurring cost that separates it from the no-income-tax states over a multi-year hold.
Add-on services are priced separately from the $397 formation package: EIN $99 on its own, ITIN $299, BOI $150 per report where a foreign reporting company still owes one, and a custom operating agreement $199. Registered agent service is $100/year and is included free in year one of any formation package. Reinstatement of an administratively dissolved LLC is $250 plus state fees. None of these are required for a standard single-member Virginia LLC beyond the formation package and annual maintenance.
Virginia charges personal income tax up to 5.75% on LLC profit that passes through to owners, which the four anonymous states without state income tax avoid. This is a recurring cost separate from the $50 annual registration. An S-corporation election on Form 2553 cuts self-employment tax once net income clears $40,000-$60,000, lowering the total tax bill. Non-resident owners with no US-source effectively connected income owe no US federal income tax but file Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120. Anonymousllc.co partners with US tax preparers for non-resident filings.
The anonymous alternative to a Virginia LLC is a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC that foreign-qualifies into Virginia. A Wyoming LLC costs $397 all-in; a New Mexico LLC costs $347 all-in with no annual report. Foreign qualification into Virginia adds a Certificate of Authority filing and a $100/year Virginia registered agent. This path keeps members and managers off every public record while still letting the business operate in Virginia. Anonymousllc.co handles both the anonymous formation and the Virginia qualification.
Over five years, a Virginia LLC formed through Anonymousllc.co runs $397 in year one plus $150/year for four more years, about $997 in service and state maintenance fees before any income tax. State income tax up to 5.75% on Virginia-sourced profit is separate. A New Mexico LLC costs $347 up front and nothing in state annual fees, so its five-year maintenance floor is the lowest of the group; a Wyoming LLC runs $397 plus $60/year. Founders weighing a long hold on the entity factor the recurring numbers, not just the formation price, and Anonymousllc.co quotes every recurring fee before filing.
A Virginia LLC is fully operational in 5-10 business days end-to-end, and the $397 price does not change with speed. The state accepts the Articles within 1-3 business days, the EIN follows in 5-7 days for non-residents, and bank approval lands 8-10 days after the EIN. The package runs the steps in parallel to hold that timeline: name check and filing on day 0, the EIN the moment the state stamp arrives, and bank applications to four or five partners at once. A funded US account lands by day 10-12 with no expedite surcharge added to the Virginia filing fee.
Under the March 21, 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, domestic reporting companies are exempt from BOI reporting, so most Virginia LLCs owe nothing. Foreign reporting companies formed outside the US remain obligated. Anonymousllc.co files BOI reports at $150 each only for foreign reporting companies that still owe them. A standard domestic Virginia LLC has no BOI filing fee at present. The exemption is current as of the 2025 interim final rule.
